Sorry I know I'm from bham but if your landers is like the one in bessemer run as far away as possible! They actually told me if I changed my oil before 8,000 miles it would void my warranty! We have a Hendricks in Hoover and they told me as long as you didn't go over 3" of lift they would not void any warranty.

I've had good experiences with their service department - they've always complemented me on Wilbur's looks (2.5" lift, 35s, etc). They also build up some of their stock JKs prior to sale, so I think they are mod-friendly. Don't recall anyone ever saying the Hsv Landers McLarty dealership is hostile to mods.

There have been those that were less than satisfied in quality of service provided, but I'm not aware of anyone being refused warranty work due to mods. Consider searching for Landers or McLarty in this thread as I know folks have commented about them in the past.

They've done a little work on the Jeep after it was modded, and I couldn't tell that they had any problems with it. I generally like them. However, I've got no idea what they think about warranty work.

Is that the "white" one with the tube bumper up front - flew by sort of quick and didn't get a close look?

Went by yesterday, 2011 with Shittybuilt bumpers and sliders, the damn rear tire carrier would not even latch. And muddy, you think they would clean things up some.
